ushering the new year

decided to blog one last entry for the year 2007. looking back, this has been a eventful year, with the usual ups and downs. major events this year were mainly school events like taekwondo poomsae competition (which I totally flopped much to my dismay) and of course A levels. come to think of it HwaChong has given me the opportunity to meet so many new friends, great teachers and I have indeed matured alot in HwaChong even some of my friends think so in the christmas cards they have given me haha. I would definitely miss HwaChong and grateful for what she had given me.
oh suddenly got the blogger block. too lazy to blog. listening to 987 FM's top 100 songs countdown fo rthe year 2007 now. think the number 1 song for the year 2007 has to be Rihanna's Umbrella. I mean no matter how much one hate that song or finds it irritating it is a mega hit that is so popular almost everyone on the street now knows the famous phrase "ella ella eh eh...".
inviting my aunts, uncles and cousins later over to my house for a mini countdown party. I am helping to cook two dishes! Hope i would not screw up.
Hope year 2008 would be a fantastic year for me and of course to you too if you are reading this. Just uploaded my handphone pictures and I saw one with me wearing the spectacles I made for army. It looks like a gigantic goggles on me. I think it is too big, but oh well. Guess I would look like this in army with the botak hair that is.

Wishing everyone...

what major?

i just did a casual quiz that actually advices what major one should take. the results kind of stunned me because those areas that i scored highly in are precisely those that i am considering to take up in university. definitely not medicine like some of my family members have been encouraging me to take.


WHAT MAJOR IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
created with QuizFarm.com
You scored as Visual&PerformingArts

You should strongly consider majoring (or minoring) in the Visual or Performing Arts (e.g., Art, Art Education, Art History, Ceramics, Culinary Arts, Dance, Drawing, Fashion Design, Film, Graphic Design, Interior Design, Marketing (advertising), Music, Music Education, Music Theory, Painting, Photography, Theatre).

It is possible that the best major for you is your 2nd, 3rd, or even 5th listed category, so be sure to consider ALL majors in your OTHER high scoring categories (below). You may score high in a category you didnt think you would--it is possible that a great major for you is something you once dismissed as not for you. The right major for you will be something 1) you love and enjoy and 2) are really great at it.

Consider adding a minor or double majoring to make yourself standout and to combine your interests. Please post your results in your myspace/blog/journal.

Merry Christmas!

hello!

yesterday i had a fantastic christmas gathering with my classmates. my first so called christmas party. we had the usual gift exchange and mr teo came to join in the fun!

the unusual thing was that we cooked most of our food. michelle brought her mom speciality shepard's pie and the rest of the food were cooked at dorea's house by us! the girls helped with the cutting of the food and me, joel and dorea's maid did most of the cooking! i guess the food wasn't too bad because no one complained :P lol.

thanks to dorea's family for generously allowing us to mess up their kitchen quite a bit!




ingredients for spaghetti



the food. pizzas were from pastamania using a gift voucher that our class won last time.



shao hsien the giant eater! he looks thin but he got abs and eats alot! i dumped like a mountain hill of spaghetti on his plate (haha was trying to clear the food because there were too much) and he finished it! pretty amazing given that it was his third serving already *gasp*. hope that i could eat so much like him. his stomach is really like a bottomless pit. on the contrary, the girls ate so little we overestimated their appetite which explains for the excess food haha.



65 candle flame!



group shot with Mr Teo.



me and mingming reminiscing the time in J1 during valentine's day when we took a shot with this similar pose.

the people who did the nice decorations!

me and joel trying to be lame by imitating that pose which zoe tay and fann wong did for a famous scene in a local drama. i think it was the one in which they were trying to "hear" something from "a golden pillow". joel looks really hilarious in this picture!

random shot.

i actually picked aik ling to exchange my gift with. the irony...

Mr Teo was really sweet he wrapped these random miniature perfumes and separated them into those for males and females. we were told to pick our gift, unwrapped them and test whether we like the smell. if not we can still exchange with one another. i got a raulph lauren POLO BLACK perfume.

many more pictures i have uploaded on my facebook account.


class guys at the party!

me giving our class gift to mr teo.

completely random.

after that for the post-eating segment of the party we played this game which involves bloating ourselves with water. our fate depends on which card we picked.

mingming, yeowlin and yongkang terribly bloated after drinking about 7 cups of water. luckily yongkang and mingming have got the toilet pass! poor yeowlin. people adjacent to the one who got sabo-ed to drink must also drink a cup of water each which explain the plight of the three people above because yeowlin was rather unlucky lol. poor rongkang had to drink even more cups of water (probably about 12 cups in total) because he forgot to perform the actions that people have introduced as new additional rules for the game.


haha look at mingming looking depressed... she was probably on high tide. dorea was feeding bao jun because we were not allowed to use our own hands to drink. this rule was introduced halfway in the game.

thanks 65 for a fun christmas party!

last but not least...MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

grandparents' birthday

today is my grandparents' birthday. actually i am unsure of the actual date of their birthdays (according to my mother their birth dates weren't recorded anywhere), but just sure that their birth dates are pretty close. so we always celebrate both of their birthdays simultaneously.



i am grateful to have grandparents who cared for me. happy birthday to ah ma and ah gong!

=/

really unhappy with my dad. today me and my mom are planning to go to IKEA to get some stuffs for our old house. unfortunately, IKEA doesn't give out plastic bags and some of the items that I am planning to buy are rather bulky. so it would be quite a hassle to carry them on the MRT (my mother doesn't have a driving license).

I researched and sort of know how to drive there, but the problem is I don't know how to drive! I want to teach my dad who claims that he doesn't know the directions, but I guess he is more interested in playing this rather stupid online game (most of my friends despise it) call MAPLESTORY. I mean come to think of it, it is quite hilarious for an adult like him to play such a game. his account has got a level 124 character I think, what a joke. I once complained about this on my blog and he cut down on his addiction but now he is back to playing again. He even printed like one whole pile of notes on maplestory (I know you are sniggering), and calenders are filled with random scribblings of maplestory usernames (for his use) which make them really unsightly.

ok enough of this, just wanted to get this off my chest. I am more than motivated to get a driving license and a decent-paying job in the future (LOL! this is highly impossible but it is okay to dream right).

revival

sigh i guess no one really visit this half-dead blog now but it is time for revival i guess.

anyway my proficiency in the english language is just really horrible. was trying to apply for the DSTA scholarship at the very last minute yesterday and wrote the application essay in a hurry. it was a really screwed up essay and michelle and me laughed so hard while reading the disjoint essay outloud and trying to edit it an hour before the application deadline (deadline was by 11 December 2007).

got my prom dvd today. basically it just consists of a whole collection of random pictures taken by our school's photographer zhong wei.

going out with my mom tomorrow to her friend's spectacle shop to make a black-rimmed spectacles to prepare for army. speaking of army, i feel really unprepared. sigh.

quite a lot of things happened during the looong absence from blogging but i am too lazy to update them now. will update soon on the latest happenings when i take more pictures!
